Fantastic question. I'm not even doing that yet. How embarrassing!

Right now I'm just spawning sub processes like crazy and hope they don't overwhelm my machine. In the future, I plan to use a queue and also to monetize on API queries.

I haven't looked into queues in Javascript yet. If you have recommendations, that be appreciated :)

This is really just an MVP to see how the internet crowd reacts to it. I'm glad it does in a positive way :)

Haven't used it, but "bull" shows transcoding as their example, so I assume they've run through your use case: https://github.com/OptimalBits/bull

Don't use bull, use NATS[1] - happy with it so far with the Node SDK.

That seems more messaging oriented than job oriented. Does it manage job concurrency limits, time outs, etc?

Why do you say not to use bull? I've been quite happy with bull in our production environments so far.

RabbitMQ is what we use at work or sns for messages to lambdas.
